' f eppiieatibnied May e, '1924. serial. No. 711,375.

T alll whom t may concern: 'Be itlrnown thatI, GEORGE I-IUss, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York', 'have' invented a new and Improved Bottle-lashing Device, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

i0A This invention has relation tov washing or cleansing devices and has particular` reference to a device for rwashing and cleansing bottles and primarily contemplates a bottle washing device which is particularly 415 intended for household use whereby the same may be connected with an ordinary faucet. n

lThe invention contemplates a bottle washj ing device of the character set forth which is operable to simultaneously subject the bottle to an internal j and external washing' and cleansing operation.

The invention Jfurthermore comprehends a bottlevwasliing device in. whichV means of adjustment is provided to compensate for variations in the "size .ofthe bottles beingwashed by the device. g

As a "still: further objectthe invention resides` in a bottle washing device which is capable of being partly disassembled and folded or collapsed to admit of packing in a minimum of spacel for transportation or storage.

The invention furthermore contemplatesv a bottle washing device which is comparatively simple in its construction, mode of use, inexpensive to manufacture, and which is highly efficient in its purpose.

With the above recited and other objects in View, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth in the following speciication, particularly pointed out in the appended claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the full extent indicated by the general ymeaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bottle washing device constructed in 'accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a .vertical sectional view therethrough.

Vings 11 and to receive on their outer' ends Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bottle supporting means removed. 1

VReferring to the drawings by characters of reference, 10 designates a suitable sup-V porting base which is provided with spaced vertical apertures 11. A horizontal feed pipef12 is provided withl an inlet end`13 for Vattachment to a hose 14 leading to a common source of supply. The horizontal feed pipe is provided `with upstanding spaced feed pipes or tubular standards 15 and 16. `The feed lpipe 12 is further provided with ydepending threaded stems 17 adapted to be inserted in the vertical openthe nuts 18 in order to detachably associate the feed pipes with the base 10. The vertical feed pipe 15 is formed at its upper end with a sprayer head 19. The vertical feed pipe 16 telescopically receives a pipe section '20, the lower 'open end ofvwhich communicates' with the feed Apipe 16 and the upper YendV of which is provided with a tting21-y which carries a horizontal pipe section 22 communicating with the pipe 2O and formed at its outer end with a T-shaped union 23. "An external sprayer head 24-of jsplit" annular formV has its opposite ends engaged 'in the T-shap'ed union 23 whereby the 'sprayerehead V24 is :in'coimnunication with the pipe 22. The sprayer head 24 is formed with a series of inwardly and downwardly directed discharge openings 25,. From this construction it is obvious that the sprayer head 24 which is in communication Vwith the horizontal feed pipe 12 is vertically adjustable with respect to the feed pipe and with respect to the internal sprayer head 19.

In order to provide means for supporting 95 the bottle in inverted relation over the internal sprayer head 19, a supporting member indicated generally at 26 is employed which member consists of a sleeve or nut 27 snugly fitted on the pipe or standard 15 100 pipe 'lo und through the pipes 1G, 20 and 22.

The bottle supporting; `nieuibcr 26 and the external sprayer head Qd; are relatively ad instable to the eine oi the bottles being rashed so that the operator inverts and inserts the bottle l through the annular spravenf head i and over the internal sprayer head 19. the breast of the bottle being|` supported by the split ring:r 30 of the supporting` member 213. The Water or cleansing Vfluid discharged through the sprayer head 1S) acts upon the interiorof the bottle, whilethe water or cleansingl tluid discharged fl'rolu the discharge openings 25 acts upon the exterior o'l the bottoni and the outer sides oi the bottle Then not in use the base may be removed from the remainder olf the device, and the annular sprayer member may be either swung downwardly to the dotted line posi- `tion illustrated in Figi'. 2 or removed by unthreading the T-shaped union 23 from the pipe section 22. Preferably the vertical pipo section 20 which is telescopieally received by the pipe section 1G is merely retained in its vertically adjusted `position frictionally. When ,folding or collapsing the device the section 20 is `fully telescoped `within the section 16. The space 31 defined in the split ring; B0 is designed for the purpose of receiving the handle of a jug in event the device is used for washing of containers oi this character.

I claim:

1. In a bottle washing device, a horizontal cleaning fluid conduit pipe having co1nmunication With a source ol supply, a pair 0f spaced upstanding,l communicating pipes connected to said conduit one of said pipes being provided with an internal sprayer head and the other oiz which is provided with an annular external sprayer head adjustable axially with respeetto the internal sprayer head and means on the pipe which supports the internal sprayer head for supporting a bottle in inverted position over the internal sprayer head and in juxtaposition with the external sprayer head, said supportinpY means beingr adjustable length- Wise of its supportinl.,0r pipe whereby to com-,r

pensate for variations 1n the size of the bottles lto be vashed by the device.k

2. A bottle washing device comprising a base, a common horizontal supply pipe delaehablycarried by said base,a `pair of vertical pipes communicating with said coinnion supply pipe, an internal sprayer head at the upper end oli one of said vertical pipes, a telescopically associated pipesection carried by the other vertical pipe and. con1- luunicating' therewith, a horizontal annular sprayer head carried by `and, communicating with `the upper `end of the :vertically adjustablepipe, and a member for supporting a bottle in an inverted ,position over the internal sprayer head, said lnelnbercarried by and vertically adjustable on the vertical pipe of said internal sprayer head.
